The writer Carlos Zanón, winner of the 2015 Dashiell Hammett Prize, presents his new book at Tres Culturas, Marley was dead (RBA). Set in the Barcelona of all his books, Zanón brings together in this work his particular Christmas stories, fourteen tales with a black aftertaste, interwoven together until they become almost novels, with a strong emotional charge, since at heart they are still love stories.
The author will talk about all this and his creative process together with the cultural critic specialising in film, art and literature, Fran G. Matute.
Carlos Zanón, in addition to being a poet, novelist, scriptwriter and critic, is the author of several musical biographies and a renowned music lover, which he has made a differential ingredient of his literary work. For this reason, after the event, the hall will be filled with Rock & Roll with the band Miraflores from Seville.
